AW140-EG-G18A

Overview

The AW140-EG-G18A is a single-row pin header from the AW140 series by Assmann WSW Components. It features 18 positions with a 2.54 mm pitch and supports 3 A current at 250 V. Constructed with brass contacts gold-plated for reliability, the housing utilizes polybutylene terephthalate. Designed for board-to-board connections, it employs through-hole termination and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Feature Summary

• Single-row straight pin header configuration for direct board interconnection
• Gold-plated brass contacts ensure stable electrical performance
• Polybutylene terephthalate housing provides thermal stability

Applications

• Board-to-board signal transmission
• Electronic module interconnects
• Industrial control circuitry

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific tail pin length and mating pin height requirements against your PCB stack-up before ordering. Confirm that the 18-position count matches your design needs. Ensure compatibility with standard 2.54 mm mating connectors. Check for any specific RoHS or REACH compliance documentation required for your region.

Selection Notes
